Your first name of Bastiaan has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. This disparity creates inner frustration as you cannot consistently maintain the system and order you strive for. In your personal relationships you thrive on encouragement and appreciation from others, and kindness goes a long way in bringing out your naturally cheerful disposition. If told that you must do something, you tend to resist, but when your sense of co-operation is appealed to, you then respond in a positive way. You can be easily hurt by harsh words and depreciatory remarks, but you hide your feelings and appear indifferent as though they do not affect you. However, despite the hurt, you do not tend to brood for long, as you want to be happy and optimistic. You want to plan and budget, and to maintain a well-ordered life, but it is difficult to follow through with your plans. Although you enjoy surprises to a degree, it is difficult for you to adjust quickly to unexpected change or opportunity. This lack of fulfilment of your deeper qualities tends to create repression and frustration. Chronic constipation could develop from over-eating, which could intensify these health weaknesses.
